55 points, 103, 61, 64.

You sure hate to exaggerate hey.

Catch ya again after the next Blues game I suppose. Cheers.

103 is a big score you twit. And anything over 60 points this year has been an above average score.

And please, I'm basing my opinion of Levi on his whole career, not just week to week. This year, he is drawing the 3rd tall defender of the opposition because McKay and McGovern are their best 2 talls. He was quite serviceable last year, but before that, he was an average plodder in a [censored] team. His goal kicking has always been terrible, actually, I'd call it a liability. What his stats don't show, even since he has "improved" his goal kicking, is how many out on the full he kicks. These stats sucked you in just earlier this year, "he literally hasn't missed" I think you said. He had missed-he missed the whole bloody goals AND points on a number of times.

Casboult's greatest strength is his contested mark. It has been most of his career. But what's the point of taking pack marks inside 50 if your conversion is terrible? He would actually do our heads in as he rarely let's the ball hit the ground, which is what our game plan and forward structure is based around.

He's holding his own in a team that is playing well, more so because of the game plan that their coach has introduced. If you look at his form over the past month, he has stunk it up.

You clearly have a communication channel with someone associated with the club. Your mail is often quite accurate. But please understand that in this case, where you are using your own opinions (hopefully) rather than having them fed to you, that you are actually making a terrible call.

    Average score so far this year (on quick maths) is 61. So hardly call 55, 61 and 64 "big scores".

    Can't be bothered responding to the rest of your thinly veiled excuse for an insult post.

    Cheers.

    I walk into this thread thinking there is some relevant news re Jesse Hogan and there is an entire page wasted discussing whether we should target Levi Casbault. Stage 3 restrictions are really taking their toll. Can I suggest we all watch and enjoy tomorrow night's game as what is shaping to be a fantastic contest regardless of result.

    Casboult is the saviour. 

    Because that's what I said...

    Clearly the concepts of list maturity & depth, the practicalities of list management and our trade position this year, player roles, team strengths & weaknesses are a bit above the pay grade, or perhaps attention span, of some.

     

    Am a Jesse Hogan fan.

    Saw thread had an update.

    Am very disappointed.

    Gee I thought this thread was about bringing Hogan back. I must be mistaken. In any case he can stay over West and play as many games as his body allows which I suspect won't be many.

    Casboult for Brayshaw? Or would we have to throw in a second rounder?

    Reckon Casboult has a string of 3 or so games every year where he looks unreal & gets praised for his immense improvement only to fall off a cliff and carry on like his usual squid self the remainder of the season

    I thought this was going to be about Hogan.

    Sorry just joining the stacks on the mill 

    So Hogan is coming back?


    Has Hogan been playing? I saw him in a couple of games but then he seems to have disappeared again

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
